The round one grants listed above result in the allocation of approximately
$2.6 million in state boater dollars, $338,000 in the federal Clean Vessel
Act, and $364,755 in federal Boating Infrastructure Grant funding
sources. In addition, the Marine Board partners with the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife in matching $2.1 million in federal
Sport Fish Restoration funds.

The Marine Board's funding comes
from motorboat registration fees and marine fuel taxes paid by boaters.
No general fund tax dollars are used to support the agency or its
programs. Boater-paid fees go back to boaters in the form of law
enforcement services (on-the-water enforcement, training and equipment),
education/outreach materials and boating access facilities.
